Simple can be harder than complex, because one must have a deep, comprehensive understanding to be able to identify the essential parts and know what can be taken away to maintain or improve the overall functionality. This is true for both design and for life.
So, today, I sat down and identified the nonessential parts of my life and will work over the next few weeks to cut them out completely. These are parts of my life that, overall, have been distracting or haven't made me a better person (i.e. defensive tasks). I'm excited for this as I've always been minimalist in nature, and removing these will simplify my life. This will in turn decrease my cognitive load so I can devote more of my focus toward bigger and better things.
